Protected Podcasts
From Business Plan and higher tiers, we offer a feature to set up a protected podcast and feed. This means that the podcast's RSS feed and, if applicable, the blog generated by Podigee can only be accessed with a username and password. Each listener receives an individual feed so that the podcast can continue to be heard in the podcast listening app of their choice.
Activating the protected podcast
Once the checkbox is clicked, the feed and blog are protected. From then on, no one can access it without a username and password.
Invite Listeners
In the listener management section, you can add new listeners, manage existing ones, or delete them. Each new listener is invited with a personalized message via their email address. By clicking the Invite listener button, an email including a registration link will be sent. (example in German)
Once the invitation is sent, all listeners will appear in a list where they can also be managed. (example in German)
